The mac80211 workqueue exists to enable mac80211 and drivers to queue their own work on a single threaded workqueue. mac80211 takes care to flush the workqueue during suspend but we never really had requirements on drivers for how they should use the workqueue in consideration for suspend. We extend mac80211 to document how the mac80211 workqueue should be used, how it should not be used and finally move raw access to the workqueue to mac80211 only. Drivers and mac80211 use helpers to queue work onto the mac80211 workqueue: * ieee80211_queue_work() * ieee80211_queue_delayed_work() These helpers will now warn if mac80211 already completed its suspend cycle and someone is trying to queue work. mac80211 flushes the mac80211 workqueue prior to suspend a few times, but we haven't taken the care to ensure drivers won't add more work after suspend. To help with this we add a warning when someone tries to add work and mac80211 already completed the suspend cycle. Drivers should ensure they cancel any work or delayed work in the mac80211 stop() callback. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

This driver only uses the mac80211 workqueue and mac80211 requires us to cancel all work at driver stop. Since we now have the cancels in the right places at stop() we really don't need to flush the mac80211 workqueue so remove it. Signed-off-by: Luis R.

We need to process tx descriptors for all queues (currently main tx queue and cabq) which may have triggered the TX completion interrupt. Otherwise, the queues can get stuck after sending a few frames. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

As shown in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.wireless.general/36497, mac80211 has a bug that allows a call to the TX routine after the queues have been stopped. This situation will only occur under extreme stress. Although b43 does not crash when this condition occurs, it does generate a WARN_ON and also logs a queue overrun message. This patch recognizes b43 is not at fault and logs a message only when the most verbose debugging mode is enabled. In the unlikely event that the queue is not stopped when the DMA queue becomes full, then a warning is issued. During testing of this patch with one output stream running repeated tcpperf writes and a second running a flood ping, this routine was entered with the DMA ring stopped about once per hour. The condition where the DMA queue is full but the ring has not been stopped has never been seen by me. Signed-off-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Signed-off-by: John W.

Previously, we would store the operating mode at interface up time, but only update the PCU registers when the next reset happened. The result is that if beacon configuration (ops->bss_info_changed) happens before ops->config, we will program the wrong things into the timer registers. Consequently, beacons won't work in AP mode until after a reset (channel change, scan etc.). This is fragile anyway so just program the opmode as soon as mac80211 gives it to us.

sparse complains about a shadowed variable, which we can just rename, and lots of stuff if the API tracer is enabled, so kick out the tracer code in a sparse run -- the macros just confuse it.

Now the lowest rate in 11na ht40 mode is 13.5Mbps this shortens the range when compared to 11na ht20 mode where the lowest rate is 6.5Mbps. To improve the range, make 6.5Mbps as the lowest rate in 11na ht40 mode, this improves the range by approximately 2dB. 11ng ht40 does not have this issue as it also has basic rates (1, 2, 5.5 and 11).

When a userspace SME is active, we're currently not keeping track of the BSS properly for reporting the current link and for internal use. Additionally, it looks like there is a possible BSS leak in that the BSS never gets removed from auth_bsses[]. To fix it, pass the BSS struct to __cfg80211_connect_result in this case.

When downing interfaces, it's a good idea to tell the driver to stop sending beacons; that way the driver doesn't need special code in ops->remove_interface() when it should already handle the case in bss_info_changed(). This fixes a potential crash with at least ath5k since the vif pointer will be nullified while beacon interrupts are still active.

When only rt2400pci or rt2500pci is compiled without any of the other rt2x00 modules, then CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO will not be enabled. However rt2x00mac_set_tim() implemented within #ifdef CONFIG_RT2X00_LIB_CRYPTO statements while the declaration is placed outside the definition. This results in linking errors as reporte by Ken. rt2x00_set_tim() has nothing to do with crypto, and thus should be moved outside of the #ifdef statements.

We should be cancelling our work at the stop callback since we are borrowing the mac80211 workqueue for our work. As it stands mac80211 expects this for suspend purposes. The ath9k specific virtual wiphy stuff need only be cancelled only when the we have no secondary virtual wiphys. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W.

ath9k uses the mac80211 workqueue for 4 different types of work: * Led blink work * TX hang monitoring work * internal wiphy schedular work * channel change work done for internal wiphy schedular Since the internal wiphy schedular can end up kicking off some channel channel change work we should first cancel the wiphy schedular work and then the channel change work. The TX hang work can be cancelled second since we're going down anyway. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>

Pavel Roskin reported a problem that seems to be due to software retry of already transmitted frames. It turns out that we've never done that correctly, but due to some recent changes it now crashes in the TX code. I've added a comment in the patch that explains the problem better and also points to possible solutions -- which I can't implement right now.

Current neigh_periodic_timer() function is fired by timer IRQ, and scans one hash bucket each round (very litle work in fact) As we are supposed to scan whole hash table in 15 seconds, this means neigh_periodic_timer() can be fired very often. (depending on the number of concurrent hash entries we stored in this table) Converting this to a workqueue permits scanning whole table, minimizing icache pollution, and firing this work every 15 seconds, independantly of hash table size. This 15 seconds delay is not a hard number, as work is a deferrable one. Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

This renames away a variable clash: * ipv6_table[] is declared as a static global table; * ipv6_sysctl_net_init() uses ipv6_table to refer/destroy dynamic memory; * ipv6_sysctl_net_exit() also uses ipv6_table for the same purpose; * both the two last functions call kfree() on ipv6_table.
